Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ultrasonic mist inhaler for atomizing a liquid by ultrasonic vibrations.
  • Electronic vaporizing inhalers are becoming popular among smokers who also want to avoid the tar and other harsh chemicals associated with traditional cigarettes and who wish to satisfy the craving for nicotine.
  • Electronic vaporizing inhalers may contain liquid nicotine, which is typically a mixture of nicotine oil, a solvent, water, and sometimes flavoring.
  • liquid nicotine is drawn into a vaporizer where it is heated into a vapor.
  • the vapor containing the nicotine is inhaled.
  • Such electronic vaporizing inhalers may have medical purpose.
  • Electronic vaporizing inhalers and other vapor inhalers typically have similar designs.
  • Most electronic vaporizing inhalers feature a liquid nicotine reservoir with an interior membrane, such as a capillary element, typically cotton, that holds the liquid nicotine so as to prevent leaking from the reservoir. Nevertheless, these cigarettes are still prone to leaking because there is no obstacle to prevent the liquid from flowing out of the membrane and into the mouthpiece.
  • a leaking electronic vaporizing inhaler is problematic for several reasons.
  • the liquid can leak into the electronic components, which can cause serious damage to the device.
  • the liquid can leak into the electronic vaporizing inhaler mouthpiece, and the user may inhale the unvaporized liquid.
  • Electronic vaporizing inhalers are also known for providing inconsistent doses between draws.
  • the aforementioned leaking is one cause of inconsistent doses because the membrane may be oversaturated or undersaturated near the vaporizer. If the membrane is oversaturated, then the user may experience a stronger than desired dose of vapor, and if the membrane is undersaturated, then the user may experience a weaker than desired dose of vapor. Additionally, small changes in the strength of the user's draw may provide stronger or weaker doses. Inconsistent dosing, along with leaking, can lead to faster consumption of the vaping liquid.
  • conventional electronic vaporizing inhalers tend to rely on inducing high temperatures of a metal heating component configured to heat a liquid in the e-cigarette, thus vaporizing the liquid that can be breathed in.
  • Problems with conventional electronic vaporizing inhalers may include the possibility of burning metal and subsequent breathing in of the metal along with the burnt liquid. In addition, some may not prefer the burnt smell caused by the heated liquid.
  • Electronic vaporizing inhalers are generally designed so that the liquid nicotine reservoir is arranged away from the metal heating component to prevent heating the unused liquid in the reservoir. This arrangement makes the inhaler device cumbersome and more complex to produce.
  • the vapor chamber is generally distant from the liquid reservoir and the mouthpiece to prevent heating the liquid or the vapor before the user drawn.
  • an ultrasonic mist inhaler comprises:
  • liquid reservoir structure comprising a liquid chamber adapted to receive liquid to be atomized, the liquid chamber comprising a top surface representing the maximum level of the liquid chamber and the bottom surface representing the minimum level of the liquid chamber,
  • the sonication chamber comprising means of ultrasonic vibrations and a capillary element extending between the sonication chamber and the liquid chamber, wherein the means of ultrasonic vibrations and the liquid chamber are arranged according to one of the following configurations: the means of ultrasonic vibrations are disposed close to or at the bottom surface of the liquid chamber, the means of ultrasonic vibrations are disposed close to or at the top surface of the liquid chamber.
  • the arrangement of the means of ultrasonic vibrations disposed close to or at the bottom surface of the liquid chamber renders the fluid passage to the means of ultrasonic vibrations by gravity faster.
  • the arrangement of the means of ultrasonic vibrations disposed close to or at the top surface of the liquid chamber renders the mist passage to a mouthpiece shorter.
  • the means of ultrasonic vibrations in the arrangement close to or at the top surface, may have at least an atomization surface parallel to the top surface. In the ultrasonic mist inhaler, in the arrangement close to or at the top surface, the means of ultrasonic vibrations may have at least an atomization surface perpendicular to the top surface.
  • the inhaler may comprise one of the following features taken alone or in combination: the liquid reservoir structure may comprise an inner container and an outer container wherein the inner container is surrounded by the outer container, the inner container forms the liquid reservoir, the capillary element is wrapped around the means of ultrasonic vibrations, the means of ultrasonic vibrations is supported by an elastic member, the elastic member is formed from an annular plate-shaped rubber, the elastic member has an inner hole wherein a groove is designed for maintaining the means of ultrasonic vibrations, the inner container has an opening into which the elastic member is introduced at least partly, the elastic member having a radial groove wherein the capillary element passes and penetrates the liquid chamber, the elastic member is inserted into the opening of the inner container by tight adjustment.
  • mist used in the invention means the liquid is not heated as usually in traditional inhalers known from the prior art.
  • traditional inhalers use heating elements to heat the liquid above its boiling temperature to produce a vapor, which is different from a mist.
  • the ultrasonic mist inhaler according to the invention wherein said liquid to be received in the liquid chamber comprises 57-70 % (w/w) vegetable glycerin and 30-43% (w/w) propylene glycol, said propylene glycol including nicotine and flavorings.

  • the device can be packaged to look like an object other than a cigarette. For instance, the device could resemble another smoking instrument, such as a pipe, water pipe, or slide, or the device could resemble another non smoking related object.
  • Ultrasonic mist inhalers are either disposable or reusable.
